Default They are all slightly shinny in the least. Most of us use Vinylx.

It's really a property of the material. It doesn't absorb like leather does. What I do for things like seats is whip it down with the stuff and then go over it with a dry cloth to remove the excess.

Default I like Vinylex but don't like the consistency....

very similar in consistency to Armor All, watery. It's always a pain as it drips down the front of the bottle, and usually oversprays the rag.
If anything the good point is that it deters you from applying it directly onto surfaces. You have to spray it onto the rag first (which is preferred)

Default My guess is you want find anything thicker.

Vinyl needs something liquid like as it won't soak in other wise. Vinylx smells better to. Same shine as Armor All low shine formula.

I prefer LOW GLOSS Armor ALL. I really dislike the regular Armor All.
